Is Christianity Pagan?
Rabbi Yehudah ben Shomeyr
Stop railing
against the teats that fed you! Rabbis tell us that Moses was not permitted to
turn the Nile into blood because it carried and protected him in the basket, so
Aaron did it. Likewise, stop cursing Christianity from which most of you came.
You do not bite the hand that fed you for so long. “Christianity is Pagan,” you
cry! Really? Is a leper pagan? No, a leper is still Israel; the leper just
needs to be quarantined outside the camp until the leprosy is healed and
cleansed. Christianity came from Judaism (and
Judaism came from Torah) and was infected with the leprosy of paganism. To
say Christianity is pagan is to say Judaism is pagan. Christianity is just
infected and needs to be shown the compassion Messiah Yeshua shown the lepers. Many
of you were at one time infected due to your mother and if was not for the
Messianic compassion of others you too would still leprous and be outside the
camp. On account of Miriam, Moses’ sister contracting leprosy, what do the Rabbis
say causes leprosy? LaShone Hara, The evil tongue, which is slander and gossip.
Repent, put down your stones and withdraw your accusing finger before it
withers. Now look in the mirror and watch, lest the leprosy breaks out on your
forehead. We need to re-read the life of Yeshua the Messiah and take His cue in
dealing with others.
